Linda Vista Trails Sunset – 9/2/2014

1409 Waiting
A Tarantula – waiting… September 2014.
Near sunset on the Linda Vista Trail the heat isn’t too oppressive – but the shade on the ‘diagonal’ trail is still a welcome relief from the sun – during our break in the shade we spot a tarantula waiting in it’s hole and stand quietly watching a herd of Javelina. After enjoying the sunset we finish our loop with a run back to the trailhead.

Sunset. March 2014.

Clouds in the sky – but no real hint of yesterday’s storm (that dropped the first rain in the Tucson area since a small amount fell on February 3! See Drenching rains follow unusually warm Tucson February for more details.) – we had time to hike about 3 miles up the trail and then just barely caught the beautiful sunset!
